Description

Darts Miscellany collects together all the vital information you never knew you needed to know about the game of arrows. In these pages you will find irresistible anecdotes and the most mind-blowing stats and facts. Heard the one about 'The Viking's' "pre-match nutrition" consisting of "25 bottles of Holsten Pils and six steak 'n' kidney pies"? How about the darter who wore sequins and carried a candelabra? Or the forgotten legend 'The Martial Dartist'? Do you know which player was fictionalized in a novel as 'Keith Talent'? Which superstar crooner was once a local Darts Association president? Or which darts legend (who contributed the foreword here) had a degree in history from Cambridge University? All these stories and (at least) one hundred and eight-teen more appear in a brilliantly researched collection of trivia - essential for any darts fan who holds the riches of the sport's history close to their heart.
